Container port efficiency in emerging and more advanced markets (2010, methodology): “Cullinane et al. (2006) used SFA and DEA to evaluate 28 of the world’s most important international ports and the efficiency of their container terminals.”
Efficiency Measurement in the Port Industry: A Survey of the Empirical Evidence (2009, methodology): “Cullinane et al. (2006) show that, with the exception of Singapore, the ports with the greatest levels of private participation are the most efficient.”
Operations research at container terminals: a literature update (2007, background): “For a survey of container shipping and port development as well as for aspects of competition and efficiency see, e.g., Ashar (2006); Cullinane et al.

A Critical Analysis of DEA Applications to Seaport Economic Efficiency Measurement (2009, background): “Except for the study conducted by Cullinane et al. (2006), no other studies made a real comparison between DEA and other operations research techniques in terms of quality and analytical power in assessing port efficiency, not to mention whether DEA could be combined with other techniques (e.g.…”
The impacts of maritime piracy on global economic development: the case of Somalia (2010, background): “Indeed, even within existing maritime-related works involving economic analysis, they largely focus on the costs and efficiencies of other components within the sector, notably ship 47–49 and port operations 50–54 , rather than maritime piracy.”
Centrality and vulnerability in liner shipping networks: revisiting the Northeast Asian port hierarchy (2010, methodology): “It is analyzed in relation with other indicators using various operations research techniques, notably Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) and Stochastic Frontier Analysis (SFA) [11], but these methodologies are too aggregated and do not fully reflect the position of ports in networks.”
